Parti Gras to benefit South Pasadena students

Partying is more fun when a large group is involved, and people should expect crowds to show up to Parti Gras on Saturday from 6:30 to 11:30 p.m.

For $120, people can attend the festive fundraiser at the Arroyo Seco Golf Course at 1055 Lohman Lane. South Pasadena teachers get a discounted price, $65. Proceeds will go to the South Pasadena Unified School District.

This year's theme is Derby Days. A quick online image search shows women in sundresses and big hats and men in suits.

More than 20 local eateries will provide food and drink. Delicacies such as kimchi maki rolls, pura vida salad and a selection of desserts will be offered. The gala will also include silent and live auctions, complimentary cocktails, dinner and dancing.
